Legal Answers
- Q. Can appearing in court for a Careless Driving ticket in Arkansas prevent insurance rate increase?
- A: I'm sorry you're having to deal with a traffic ticket. If you go to court, you should be able to ask about either having the charge reduced (such as to a city ordinance violation) or having it diverted or taken under advisement, conditioned upon no similar offenses for a period of time. Any of these methods should keep it from assessing points to your driving record. Different courts have different ways they handle that process, but almost all of them do have a way to provide some relief for a first time traffic offense. They may require you to take a defensive driving class. It certainly doesn't hurt to ask. Just be respectful. Good luck.
- Q. What legal steps can I take to get an overgrown neighboring lot trimmed for safety?
- A: Good Afternoon. If the overgrowth is located adjacent to the public road and in the right-of-way, you should be able to contact the local jurisdiction's street or road department and ask if they can clear it. Be sure to mention that it is a safety issue. Alternatively, some jurisdictions have code enforcement officers who can contact the owner, request that the problem be fixed and write a citation. By Arkansas law, a lien can be placed on property if the government has to go in and clean it up after the owner refuses.
